Once portlet can be added to your psml and it carries 'allow-if-owner' via
its registry definition, you become the 'owner' of the portlet reference
contained in your psml only (i.e. if someone else attempts to reference it
directly via its peid, they will be denied access to it). You can override
this by customizing the portlet and setting it security ref to something
else (and if you're not careful, you can lock yourself out of accessing this
portlet - by assigning it something like 'admin-only', for instance).

Hope this makes sense.
